Chapter 360 Impeachment (5th update)
"It's just a small matter." Huo Xifei smiled slightly, pulled Yuan Ziyu to sit at the stone table in front of the warehouse, and told Yuan Ziyu about what happened when Master Duan Wu encountered bandits on the road.
Now, Huo Xifei has taken the time to pave a layer of bluestone slabs in the area in front of the warehouse, and placed a set of stone tables and stone chairs on the bluestone slabs. He also planted a few green bamboos next to them. Combined with the surrounding pastoral scenery, it has a unique meaning.
Yuan Ziyou poured a cup of tea himself and placed it in front of Huo Xifei: "That Han Chi would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one go. He actually hired bandits to kill Master Duan Wu."
"The Duan family does have some foundation." Huo Xifei took a sip of tea and said, "Although Han Chi is a marquis, he has no real power. Naturally, we must be on guard. If the fifth son of the Duan family is really killed on the road, then the feud between the Yuan and Duan families will probably be sealed."
Yuan Ziyou nodded: "So, this Han Chi must not be let go."
"That's right." Huo Xifei heard Yuan Ziyou say this and hurriedly said, "Maybe we can put the matter of dealing with Han Chi aside for now."
"Why?" Yuan Ziyu was a little confused.
"Uncle Yuan wants to deal with Han Chi himself. Do you remember Han Chi's meeting with Tuoba Hun?" Huo Xifei said, "Why don't we lend a hand to Uncle Yuan and find evidence of Han Chi's collaboration with the enemy? Han Chi harmed Uncle Yuan in his past life, so this time we should give him a taste of his own medicine."
Yuan Ziyu's eyes lit up when he heard this. This is what he did in his previous life, so he could definitely do it again in this life!
She is good at forging letters between Han Chi and Tuoba Hun!
only……
"Brother Xi, will this bring trouble to the Duan family?"
In her previous life, Yuan Ziyu had no contact with anyone from the Duan family, as the Duan family was greatly implicated because of Han Chi. But in this life, after coming into contact with the Fifth Young Master Duan, she had some favorable feelings towards the Duan family and could not bear to see such a scholarly family suffer such a misfortune.
"It will have some impact," Huo Xifei said, then thought for a moment and added, "However, Duan's death this time will definitely become a thorn in the Duan family's heart. They will definitely not let Han Chi go, and they will definitely deal with Han Chi. If we don't let him go, we will hand over the evidence to the Duan family. Then the Duan family and Uncle Yuan will impeach Han Chi. In this way, the Duan family will naturally not be implicated because they have sacrificed their own family for the sake of justice."
"Okay!" Yuan Ziyou nodded and said, "I'll copy some letters for you later."
"Okay." Huo Xifei nodded. He came up with this idea because he knew Yuan Ziyu could imitate letters.
Han Chi waited for more than half a month, but still received no news of Master Duan Wu's death, so he asked Cheng Ying, "Why hasn't the news come back yet?"
Chengying knelt before Han Chi and said, "My Lord, I haven't received any reply from there. I have sent someone, but they haven't returned yet."
"I haven't received a reply yet?" Han Chi frowned tightly, something seemed to be wrong.
Han Chi narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid Duan Wu has already returned to the Duan family."
"My Lord, could it be..." Chengying was shocked when he heard this. It was unlikely. To be on the safe side, he found real bandits and ordered them to go all out. The other side had two or three hundred people. He was only dealing with dozens of them, and he was attacking them by surprise. How could he fail?
"Go and ask the Duan family if there is any news about Duan Wu returning home." Han Chi hurriedly ordered.
"yes!"
After Chengying left, Han Chi paced back and forth in the study anxiously.
If Duan Wu really returned to the Duan family, then things would not be good. Now he was almost 100% sure that Duan Wu knew the real cause of Duan's death. Now Han Chi only regretted why he had to be so cautious. If he had dealt with those people directly in the Marquis' Mansion, wouldn't there be no trouble today?
The more Han Chi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, as if there was something he couldn't control.
This feeling was so terrible that Han Chi became more and more panicked.
what to do?
Han Chi is now thinking about how he will respond if the Duan family makes trouble. Fortunately, he has dealt with all the people in the yard that day, otherwise it would be even more difficult.
Before Han Chi could come up with a solution, he received bad news.
Duan Wu indeed returned to the Duan family, and all the bandits who robbed the road were killed.
"Bang!"
Han Chi was so angry that he threw the cup. Two or three hundred people were lying in ambush on the road. If no one helped, Duan Wuyi and his group would never have been able to escape. Who was trying to make things difficult for him?
Han Chi's first reaction was to the Yuan family and the Huo family. He hated them with gnashing teeth, squinted his eyes and thought about it, then ordered Chengying to urge Yuan Qilei.
It's been so long, and Yuan Qilei hasn't made any noise. He's simply a waste.
However, Han Chi didn't expect that worse things were yet to come.
One morning at court, Yuan Qifeng joined forces with the Duan family to impeach Han Chi on the charge of treason, and also presented the correspondence between Han Chi and Tuoba Hun.
This was a bolt from the blue for Han Chi.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Han Chi knelt on the ground. These letters could not be real. He had burned the letters from Tuoba Hun to him at the first opportunity. As for his letters to Tuoba Hun, they were directly handed over to Tuoba Hun's confidants buried in the capital. It was always safe. How could any of the letters fall into the hands of Yuan Qifeng and the Duan family?
Emperor Wen of Qi was shocked by the news. He had completely forgotten about the previous feud between the Yuan and Duan families. He only glanced at Han Chi indifferently, took the letter presented by Eunuch Liu, and read it carefully. He could not help but get furious and threw one of the letters at Han Chi: "Then let me take a good look at it and see if it is your handwriting."
Han Chi took the letter with trembling hands and took a look. The handwriting on the letter was exactly the same as his own.
But……
He definitely did not write such a letter. This letter... is a forgery.
"Your Majesty!" Han Chi kowtowed and said, "This letter is a forgery. Someone is trying to harm me. Please investigate. I swear I never wrote these letters. Your Majesty, you must believe me. I have always been loyal to you. How could I possibly betray you?"
Emperor Wen of Qi squinted his eyes and looked at Han Chi, as if judging the truthfulness of Han Chi's words.
Han Chi's title did not carry any real power, and he was always an honest man, so Emperor Wen of Qi was always quite confident in him.
However, thinking of the rumors in the market that Eunuch Liu had recently told him, Emperor Wen of Qi became suspicious again. Could it be that Han Chi was a hypocrite?
"Lord Han really did not betray his master!" At this time, Yuan Qifeng's voice rang out in the hall.
As soon as Yuan Qifeng said this, there was an uproar in the hall. What did Yuan Qifeng mean? Didn't he impeach Han Chi just now? Why did he start to defend Han Chi so quickly?
